FREE BOOK WITH BREAKFAST

In this inspiring call to something greater, Mark Batterson helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. He shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, “Play the man.” Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men who will put God first, family second, and career third.

THE DREAM BUILDERS STORY

To unleash God’s dreams from the hearts of men.
